Yesterday, Bob Stroud devoted his Rock and Roll Roots Show on Chicago's WDRV to Summer Songs from the 60s and 70s. And, three hours of nothing but classics.
"Seems like a long haul through this spring (one of the worst ever around here). We have suffered through some awful weather. On of the most forgettable springs in recent memory, but, there's no doubt about it, it's summer right now. (Yep, and along with lots and lots of rain and lightning, we have temps in the upper 80s and 90s forecast all week.)
"As we go surfing into the Sumer of 2013:"
SURFIN' SAFARI-- BEACH BOYS-- Their first national hit back in the fall of1963. Written by Brian Wilson. (Isn't summer spelled Beach Boys?")
SURF CITY-- JAN AND DEAN-- Oh how I played this one to death in the summer of '63 along with its flipside "She's My Summer Girl." One of the ultimate summer songs written by Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. (Gosh, it could have been a Beach Boys hit, but Brian gave it to his buddies."
SATURDAY IN THE PARK-- CHICAGO-- I'll meet you at Oak Street Beach. From the summer of '72.
SPILL THE WINE-- ERIC BURDION & WAR-- 1970
UNDER THE BOARDWALK-- DRIFTERS-- 1964 (one of the last places I would ever want to be at the beach. Nothing short of nasty under there. Wet sand that hasn't been inthe sunlight for many years. Not for me.)
SUNNY AFTERNOON-- KINKS-- Late summer 1966.
Well, It's Summer Again. --RoadDog
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
